10 Minute Yoga for Fibromyalgia - Gentle Stretches for Chronic Pain Relief

[@YogawithJoelle]

✨ Click here to check out my brand new 7-day Yoga for Fibromyalgia course: tinyurl.com/h6fzppkx I hope you enjoyed this gentle fibromyalgia yoga practice. ✨

[@loveischerrypie]

Thanks! I cried while doing this because it’s the first time in three years since being diagnosed that I actually start to exercise.

[@YogawithJoelle]

Good for you!! It's completely normal to experience an emotional release when trying something new and confronting what we may be afraid we can't do. You should be incredibly proud of yourself for taking this on, and I hope your self-confidence continues to grow. If it's helpful, you might enjoy watching my "what is fibromyalgia?" video where I talk about my own story and what we can do to live better with this condition: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3fKZnt8ZZyUq5o All the best to you 🌞

[@TimeToSlashZoom]

I used this to warm down after my first time in a gym since my diagnosis 8 years ago and marking two and a half months off of opioid pain medication. Everything is sore, but I’m happy!

[@beansproot45]

This was my first time trying to exercise since my pain flared up months ago and haven't been able to leave the bed much and your kind words made me cry. Thank you for this.

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thank you for the lovely message, Ray. I'm so glad this touched you, and well done to you for trying it! If you are interested, I have a video where I talk more about life with fibromyalgia (kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3fKZnt8ZZyUq5o) that might be nice to watch sometime. I truly hope you continue to find relief. 🌟🍀

[@melmatthews5876]

Beautiful and gentle workout for someone like me who suffers from fibromyalgia, chronic anxiety, panic attacks and lifelong insomnia! Thank you for uploading this workout as very often we fibromyalgics feel we can't exercise because of the excruciating pain and exhaustion often suffered after trying to exercise. This was so beautiful because in some of the positions you were actually hugging yourself and being very self compassionate. Even your voice was very soothing and relaxing. I will be using this and some of your other uploads as now I don't feel like an outsider with a condition many people don't acknowledge or even recognise as a genuinely debilitating disease. It's awful when you feel terrible pain but have to say your fine when people ask because they think "it's all in your mind." Now, I will do these exercises and I will only let a very few trusted friends and family know that I'm trying to improve my FM through gentle care of myself using your uploads. Thanks again.

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thank you so much for joining me Mel, and for sharing your story. Well done finding what your body needed today ✨

[@famousamoose9898]

I’m 16 and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few days ago...since then I’ve had a really bad flare up and was in so much pain while doing school but these stretches really helped a lot. Thank you so much for your positivity!

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thank you for sharing your story, and I'm so glad you found the practice helpful. Well done!! 🌟

[@birdiefalls6352]

You're not alone! I'm 17 and was diagnosed half a year ago abouts. I know how discouraged some can feeldue to being different from your peers at school. I hope you have a breather from your flares

[@DeeDeeMarie1]

I'm 54 & have had FM for many years. I was diagnosed in my 20s. Today was a really tough day & my body was so stiff & sore. I have the most stiffness in my legs & find it so hard to walk in my job some days. 😞 I find the pain & stiffness is getting worse as I age & enter into menopause.

[@travelWith_viraaj]

@@DeeDeeMarie1 take care dear, remember you are one of the strangest ladies who lived bravely with FM from your 20's till 50's, it is actually an achievement 👏 I too diagnosed with FM when I was 26, it been almost 2 years now.

[@Chaimaeb446-fx9xu]

Can I talk to you please? I'm 18 and just been diagnosed

[@heartbreakerink8696]

Wow, thank you so much for this. I have fibromyalgia which caused me to quit my dance career. I've always been so hesitant to try yoga as it's 'not as impressive' as dance and I didn’t want to accept that I have limitations now. Doing this has really helped me realise that even though I can’t push myself as much as I used to, I can still do small things to be less controlled by my pain.

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thank you so much for sharing some of your story, and I love your attitude! I agree, that is exactly the way we should be thinking - we are still in charge of our own lives. I am actually working on a 7-day series of yoga videos for fibromyalgia right now, so I hope that these can continue providing you with hope and confidence! Well done to you 🌟

[@brooklyn113]

Came for pain relief and the praise and comfort of your narration made me weep. Thank you so much.

[@YogawithJoelle]

You are so welcome, thank you for sharing your experience ✨

[@reflection5400]

I’ve been in pain for so long and it always makes me sad that I know yoga releases the pain but the pain is just so intense I just lay in bed. Thank you for this I feel so much better in just a minute it’s crazy 😯

[@YogawithJoelle]

I'm so glad to hear you feel better, well done to you for taking care of yourself. ✨

[@dorafiko4514]

The last exercise was so good it got my entire lower body shaking like hell. Feeling my body light

[@TisNessie]

It’s so nice to have someone doing this kind of yoga who also has fibromyalgia! And your words of encouragement were so nice in between poses ❤️ I used to do yoga often before I was diagnosed so it’s nice to get back to it in poses I can ease my way back into! Thank you!

[@YogawithJoelle]

Wonderful to hear, a big well done to you!! I have several other practices for fibromyalgia and chronic pain, so hopefully we'll meet again on the mat soon! Have a beautiful start to your year ✨✨✨

[@SweetSelie]

I’m a social worker who just got diagnosed with fibromyalgia a couple months ago. I thought I was doing great accepting and managing this new condition with all my tools of the trade 😂 but I overexercised last week and have been in pain every day since! It’s easy to get discouraged. Your sincere words of encouragement and reframing made me cry because I felt seen and understood by someone who has had this WAY longer than I. Others have said it here in the comments but thank you for helping us feel less alone! Appreciate this and your other chronic pain videos. :)

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thank you for sharing your story and your kind words! They mean so much to me. Sending lots of positivity your way! 🙏

[@bethanylist7648]

this routine has helped me so much! i was having horrible upper back pain due to fibro and now i take 10 minutes to do this routine every time i’m in pain and it’s helped every time. thank you for this!

[@YogawithJoelle]

Sorry to hear that, I hope this continues to help ✨

[@me-nah3343]

Thank you. I love that this was 10 minutes. Most other videos were 25+. That's too much for me.

Yoga has become so popular. I tried it 20 years ago and I HATED it. But now, I have fibromyalgia and I've heard so many people talk about how yoga has helped with chronic pain. I watched this video in bed, and I am going to add this to my morning schedule. Thank you for sharing

[@YogawithJoelle]

Wonderful Toby! Look forward to meeting you on the mat again soon :)

[@aliveunfortunately9933]

I don’t comment on KZbin normally but I just wanted to thank you for this video. I used to be a professional dancer who was extremely flexible and nowadays I struggle to straighten my legs all the way and walk to and from my college classes. This video is sad for me in a way to see where I was versus where I am now but your words were very encouraging and meant a lot to me. So thank you for what you do!!!

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thank you for sharing some of your story, and well done expressing so clearly what I think many of us often feel. If you are interested in meditation, you might like to try this reframing practice for chronic pain sometime: kzbin.info/www/bejne/foOqpIh5jJKUmdU It touches on what I think you may be going through.

[@YogawithJoelle]

Sorry to hear that, I hope this continues to help ✨

[@cathydavies3526]

Hi.. do you find the flexibility increases? And the pain relief lasts? I've started & stopped doing yoga so many times over the years but wasn't sure the pain doing it was worth it as I didn't seem to improve but was back to square 1 every morning.. but I'm thinking I need to start & stick with it longer as im so stiff and in pain every day..

[@YogawithJoelle]

@@cathydavies3526 It's definitely worth sticking with to see results! Also, it shouldn't be more painful when you practice, so don't hesitate to add more pillows or other props to help increase your comfort during the class 😉

[@AlishaHerbiederbie]

Thank you so much for this. I've had fibromyalgia for more than 20 years, and as I age exercising has been more of a gamble. This is one of the exercise routines that I feel better after finishing than I did at the beginning.

[@YogawithJoelle]

I am so sorry to hear that! I hope you're doing well!! 🙏 🙏

[@cathydavies3526]

Have you found the relief and flexibility improving or is every morning like you're back to square one ? I've started & stopped yoga so many times as I never felt I improved my flexibility and every morning I was as stiff and in as much pain as the day I started.. so get discouraged.. would love to hear if it has increased flexibility at all..

[@foxxxyg]

I have never been able to do waterfall before. It has always been difficult and painful. I used a yoga block today where you used a pillow and it felt amazing. So much relief in my back I am so glad I found this video ❤️

I love this video, I also suffer with pain every day, not only from Fibromalaya but also I was diagnosed with scoliosis and arthritis on different parts of my body one being the lower part of my spine, I wake up with such a pain every day and I do not want to take strong pain killers. Maybe it would be would if possible make a video for arthritis pain sufferers . I am a 63 years woman, I have tried different alternatives and it looks like yoga helps me a lot!

I'm so happy to hear this Tina, and welcome to the community! If it's helpful for you, I have a whole playlist of gentle practices for chronic pain (here: tinyurl.com/3sjpwyba), otherwise this is always a great one to come back to. 🌟

[@bambie381]

Thank you for this great practice & encouraging words . Looking forward to doing the TMJ & waterfall videos! Thanks for all you do 🩷

[@YogawithJoelle]

You are very welcome! I am so happy to have you here! 😊

[@Lifegoezon87]

Thank you for these continuously helpful 10 min yoga videos. It really would be amazing if you could make one for the upper back as most back videos are dedicated for the lower back. Thank you Joelle

[@YogawithJoelle]

I'm so glad you are enjoying them! Try this one for the upper back, I hope it helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXm1hX-te856jNE

This was my first time trying gentle yoga with my Fibro & it did make me cry there’s obviously a lot of emotions behind the illness too. I have not stretched or done much physical exercise in the last 2 months so I was a bit stiff & felt that. But now after finishing I feel a bit better, thank you 🥰

[@YogawithJoelle]

Wonderfully done Jasmine, I'm happy that this helped find a little relief as I know it's not easy with fibro. I have other similar practices in my yoga for chronic pain playlist (tinyurl.com/3sjpwyba), so you might like to cycle through them and see if your body responds especially well to one or several of them. Stay strong, I believe in you!

[@juuriart]

I was crying today because I felt so bad in body and mind and everywhere was in so much pain. But once I tried this routine I felt so peaceful and good. Thank you for making it. 😊

[@YogawithJoelle]

Sorry to hear that, I hope this continues to help ✨

Hello mam. Just a while ago i saw these exercise. I tried a little i felt great. To me also my doctor diagnosed with fibromalgia since 2019 after one year treatment . My pains is on and off. Sometimes my pains was unbearable. Thank you for this video. I will surely follow these exercise.

[@georgie6443]

I've not been able to do Yoga for about a year since being diagnosed with CFS but so far your videos have proven me otherwise! They are so helpful and I'm looking forward to making them an integral part of my recovery routine. Thank you so much for your work!

I'm so glad to hear that Georgie! Well done to you. Next week I will have a practice for lupus coming out, which you may also enjoy trying. All the best to you 🌞

Loved this practice exercise has saved me for sure! I was diagnosed with Fb in 2009, by working out consistently I hardly ever have a flair up! Your instruction is so perfect. We all need to accept our bodies as they are and be grateful for all of our life's journeys! Thank you! Namaste🙏

I tried mindfulness meditation right before doing this video and it really helped me to connect with where I felt pain and relax. After watching your video most of my pain had eased. Thank you for the help in my journey to better listen to my body and mind. ❤

[@YogawithJoelle]

Wonderful job Amy! Well done to you for pairing mindfulness with movement to listen to yourself and feel better. I'm so glad it helped. If you'd like to try it sometime, I also have a meditation video for chronic pain: kzbin.info/www/bejne/foOqpIh5jJKUmdU All the best to you 🍀

Thank you Joelle! I have complex ptsd and fibro/hypermobility symptoms since I was 10. Love this practise, its gentle, encouraging and non pushy at all 🧡 I am going to try to incorporate this on hopefully a daily basis and see if it works with the pain!

That sounds wonderful, great attitude! 🌟 I also have a whole playlist for chronic pain practices, in case you'd like to mix in some others as well: tinyurl.com/3sjpwyba

Thank you for this video. I love that fact that it is so focused and so short. I can easily fit it into my schedule. I have found that quercetin, taken when I flare, reduces my fibro pain by about 80%. It's otc and has saved my life

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thank you for the comment Liz, I'm so glad you liked it!

[@redmonarch8678]

I'm just starting to try to exercise again after 2 years of constant chronic pain. I still have been able to walk once or twice a week every now and then, but I want to get back into regular exercise (I used to walk 4.5-5 km a day outside of working full-time) your voice is so calming and gentle, it feels very encouraging and welcoming. I'm hoping to make this a daily thing soon

[@YogawithJoelle]

I'm so glad to hear you're able to start moving your body again in a way that feels right to you. And very happy to have you with us! Let me know if I can ever help you find a particular practice, good to know this one resonated with you ✨✨✨

[@TheUnforgiven004]

Thank you for this video… I’ve felt so hopeless lately in pain relief. I hate asking or seeking help. This week has been so bad and nothing has helped. I decided to stop being stubborn and found your video. It has helped me so much. Your calming voice also helped a lot. Thank you for this video. I just subscribed and looking forward to watching more videos from you :)

[@YogawithJoelle]

I'm so happy that it helped, and thank you for sharing some of your story. You are definitely not alone! You might also enjoy this quick 5-minute chair yoga for fibromyalgia practice that I just released this week: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH7akHeqh9mGgMU 🌞

[@bethanywentling3550]

Wow….I recently was diagnosed with pelvic floor dysfunction. I sit on the toilet for most of my days crying. While doing this I all of a sudden felt something move and spasm and release and so much relief where I somehow think it stopped my bladder from spasms. I also felt a huge emotional release too where I started crying…I can’t even remember what you said but there was a gentle reminder that definitely made my inner child recognize we need to be patient and give ourselves grace while we figure out this new diagnosis and flare ups Thank you.

[@YogawithJoelle]

I'm very happy this felt helpful for you, well done ✨

[@smithy4121]

Thank you veryuch I've been doing this regularly for the last week or so and have done some of your other videos before. It's helping my hip pain and I'm finding I can push it a little further before I feel the stretch. I just wish there was something for the fatigue as I'm really struggling with that at the moment. It's still helping with not being in as much pain though so thank you

[@YogawithJoelle]

I'm so glad to hear you're feeling a little better, well done taking care of yourself ✨ For the fatigue, perhaps you'd enjoy trying some evening practices? You can even try one before gifting yourself a nap. For example, here's one for better sleep: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXzJg41mf7aarac

[@asirelboreal7583]

Thank you for this, I truly don't know what to do with this diagnosis, and I'm living a very intense and hard year, that doesn't allow me to rest much. It's been awful, I've been in tears because of the pain more times than I can count, most days of the week really, and I'm barely managing to get even a little sleep. This helped, I'll do it again tomorrow, maybe even tonight. It's good not to feel alone
